Mikey Jay - The Come Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was sitting in a classroom with four walls
In a small school with them six foot two stalls
Security guards and principals like every week
It only got crazier when I started feeling the heat
And my conscience is saying: “Boy, get your life straight.”
I’m out here, confessing to my sins on this tape
Before I last started chasing dreams, I was running deep
Family wasn’t just a word, (still ain’t), know the streets
My brothers could have been my brothers in firearms
My sisters could have been the girls I was writing on
And maybe them teachers at Richneck wouldn’t be proud
With them deals going down, they ain't around
I came a long way, could have went South but I remain
North Faced, focused more on the Rx and less on the fame

[Verse 2]
Switching up the game, like your girls’ last name
I could be picture perfect, never find a frame
My ego isn’t like Ye, but my mind is pretty close
Only rapper that’s doing it big with what he chose
Coming up, on the come up, that’s using Logic
Can’t even feel me if you did this just for profit
Jermaine Cole spitting truth, you spitting Ivan Ooze
I’m spitting that national, you remain in the News
And I’m not talking Flossy, that’s for anybody to aspire
I write these lyrics based off the world that I desire
I don’t expect you to agree, your opinion never matter
While my haters fight tears, I’m busy with the laughter

[Verse 3]
Ever got caught up in the moment and then after
You see the girl of your dreams, and then you pass her?
Didn’t think it would happen but I was infatuated
Intoxicated, faded, feeling deflated, couldn’t relay this
But she’s doing better now and so am I
She asked me if I miss her, I did, now I’m fine
Told her I was coming up on the come up, that’s using Logic
And if she heard her name in my music, that I dropped it
I stuck to every word I spit in the verses I wrote
More time spent in the booth than jumping down your throat
I mean, arguments happen, and we pick our fights
Except you’ll be missing me, I’ll be boarding flights
I should have been mirandized, reading out my rights
I decimated tracks, aiming to reach newer heights

[Outro]
I’ll admit, this took some thought and time
But at least, you’re gonna feel me when I rhyme
I’ll admit, this took some thought and time
But at least, you’re gonna feel me when I rhyme
